As a seasoned gaming aficionado with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the recent surge of modding for the Silent Hill 2 Remake has truly rekindled my passion for this genre. The introduction of CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as the main protagonist is a stroke of genius, albeit visually less refined than the rest of the game.


Despite the recent launch of the Silent Hill 2 Remake, the creative modding community has been busy adding various mods to the game. The latest addition is an intriguing one: CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, who takes over the role of the main protagonist, James Sunderland. The announcement for the remake was made in 2022, and it garnered a mix of responses from its dedicated fanbase. While some questioned whether Bloober Team could effectively pay tribute to the original horror masterpiece, many were thrilled at the possibility of re-experiencing this cherished game once more.

It’s great news that the remake of Silent Hill 2 has been well-received, even earning praise from its original director, Masashi Tsuboyama. Despite its recent release on October 8 for PS5 and PC, players are discovering a variety of intriguing mods for the game.

Besides a fog-removal mod for the Silent Hill 2 Remake, altering the game’s typical eerie ambiance significantly, a modification has been developed that swaps CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as the main character. This modification, created by SpiritHun on NexusMods, replaces James Sunderland, the protagonist of Silent Hill 2 Remake, with CJ, offering fans of the GTA franchise an opportunity to explore the game using one of its most memorable characters.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Mod Adds CJ as the Main Character

Regrettably, for those anticipating a highly detailed mod of CJ in the Silent Hill 2 Remake, his design is modeled after his appearance from San Andreas. While CJ’s face may seem somewhat unclear and not as polished as the rest of the Silent Hill 2 Remake, it remains true to the iconic character known for some of the best lines in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Just as Resident Evil 4 Remake became popular for its unique mods, such as swapping Leon’s gun for a banana or giving chainsaw enemies cute googly eyes, it appears that Silent Hill 2 Remake is also likely to attract similar creativity. In addition to custom mods, players have been discovering Easter eggs within the game, with one such discovery being the hidden original map of Silent Hill nestled inside one of the scariest houses ever seen in video games.
